The Seoul Central District Court upheld a request from the label ADOR to maintain its role managing the group and prohibit NewJeans' members from engaging in commercial activities without the label's consent, the court said in a statement.
Friday's ruling appears to throw that into doubt and the group said they would challenge the court's decision.
NewJeans has been caught up in infighting between executives of the agency's parent and the band's creative director who has now left ADOR.
The members have said they want to work with the creative director, accusing the firm of mistreatment. ADOR has denied such claims and said the contract remains in effect.
ADOR thanked the court for its “judicious” decision.
“With our status as NewJeans‘ exclusive agency now legally affirmed, we are fully committed to supporting the artists going forward,“ the company said in a statement, adding that it would be present at the members’ performance on Sunday in Hong Kong.
